New Issue of Consumer Reports to Offer Energy Saving Tips
27.09.11
"You don't have to giving up performance, comfort, or convenience to save energy and moolah, providing you know what to look for," said Celia Kuperszmid-Lehrman, stand-in home editor at Consumer Reports, in a press unloose. "Our tests have found many models of efficiency among a variety of appliances, but shoppers should mind that there are also products whose energy-saving claims are mostly hype."
Consumer Reports identifies the powering of electronic devices as one of the biggest parts of your charged bill, with about 30 cents of every dollar spent on electricity coming from electronics and appliances. With this in feeling, they suggest a few electronics that consume less energy, including whole-auditorium DVRs that can replace the need to have one at each TV, and replacing older archetype, energy-guzzling plasma TVs that can cost over $200 a year to run with newer models that cost $70 or less to drive. The report specifically mentions the 55-inch LCD Samsung UN55D65000, which costs $1,900 and has a aggregate energy cost of $29 per year.
